...YORK—Within the next eight years, leading media pundits expect Al Gore ’69, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Sen. John Edwards, Rep. Tom DeLay, Rep. Richard A. Gephardt, Sen. John F. Kerry and Rep. Dick Armey to run for the presidency. Almost nowhere within the national public arena does the name of a female presidential hopeful receive mention. To my pleasant surprise, the White House Project (WHP), an organization dedicated to fostering women’s leadership, is working to change that—and fast...
...party on Capitol Hill. And it's not hard to see why: Last week, House Republican whip Tom DeLay proclaimed that the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights were not occupied, as U.S. foreign policy maintains, but are in fact part of Israel. Now House Republican leader Dick Armey has reportedly upped the ante, suggesting that Israel had no reason to hand over occupied territory to the Palestinians and that instead "the Palestinians should build their national home within a neighboring Arab country." Problem is that there are 3.5 million Palestinians who don't share Armey's view that...
...they both have their eye on bigger jobs. Pelosi is quietly angling to be speaker of the House if the Democrats retake the chamber and Gephardt resigns to run for President in 2004. DeLay is similarly maneuvering for majority leader Dick Armey's job; within 36 hours of Armey's announcement in December that he would retire at the end of this term, DeLay and top lieutenants had phoned all 222 Republican Congressmen to try to lock in their votes...
...political perils attached to a first-term president putting pressure on Israel, and the Christian Right has taken a ferociously pro-Israel turn since the first Bush administration. Even as the President spoke this week of ending the occupation of the West Bank and creating a Palestinian state, Dick Armey, the leader of his own party in the House of Representatives urged Israel to "grab the whole West Bank" and expressed his belief that "the Palestinians should leave." With key figures of his core support base capable of so blithely endorsing ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, the President...
...those damned Democrats do? Ripped off their slogan. The Democrats just unveiled their new slogan for the upcoming campaign season, which they'd spent a zillion dollars test marketing: "Securing America's Future for all our Families." The nerve of them. When they found out about the slogan theft, Armey and Watts held a press conference last week to cry foul. "Republicans have been working to secure America's future" since they took control of the House in 1994, Watts griped. The Democrats can't just up and steal our best lines. The Dems, of course, are chortling. Change your...
